About this product
Long before it reached the dressing table, rosewater was used in religious ceremonies and offered to guests as a courtesy, a gesture of welcome that has lasted for millennia. A cool mist of it across the face still feels like being welcomed.
Our Rose Hydrosol is Rosa damascena, organically produced and hydrodistilled in Bulgaria. It is wonderful in homemade skin care: on its own as a toner, to moisten a mask, or in place of water in lotions and cosmetic recipes. Rosewater suits both dry and oily skin, and it makes a lovely facial or body spray.
Opinions differ on its use for extraordinarily sensitive skin, so if yours is, try a little first.
